I went to the doctors on July 9th for what I thought would be a standard visit. Welcome to your 3rd trimester I heard as she measured my belly and maybe me stand on that stupid scale. You will need to go have your diabetes test taken, you have to be fasting for at least 4 hours. Since I hadn't eaten anything yet that morning I figured ok great I can do it now and just get it over with very quickly.
I drive over to the hospital lab and hear welcome drink this drink, then sit in the waiting room for an hour. After an hour we will draw your blood and check your levels. I start drinking the drink, first cup wasn't bad it tasted like fanta that had lost it's fizz, second cup was horrible. The lady at the check in desk looked at me and said "don't throw it up because if you do we have to start all over again" easy for her to say. Honestly can't everything like that be Cherry flavored? So I finish my drink and go sit down. Not knowing that I would be taking this test today I didn't bring anything to do or read.
Keep in mind it's now 9:55 am and I haven't ate anything all day. At 10:55 I was able to walk back and have them test my levels of course they never tell you anything at that time so I'm still waiting to hear the results. After, that I had a meeting with my councillor who I'm talking with at 11:00 am. Letting her know the week before that I might be a little late. We talk for a while, during the meeting I couldn't even focus. I'M SO HUNGRY. At or around 12:15 I leave her office and drive back to Orem, stopping by a drive-thru to grab something to eat. I think I got to work at or around 1pm that day shaking because I still haven't eaten. I don't remember tasting that Hamburger.
**Note to self... Bring a book next time just in case any other surprise texts come up. I have an appointment on July 23rd so I hopefully with be able to share the results with everyone. But I'm sure everything is just fine otherwise I would've heard right?
